SCOTLAN D.
Rev. MR.. crosIey In the Mechanics
Course.

Rev. Marion Crosley of the church of the
Messiah, was the lecturer in the Mechanics
Free Course last night. He took the ''Land
O'Cakes, Scotland, for his theme and was
frequently interrupted by applause.
The speaker introduced the subject by
stating that he was not Scotchman him.
self, ne was born and brought up in Ohio,
but he had the good fortune to spend two
very pleasant and profitable years in that
country.
Scotland is located far to the north of this
country. 1t lies between "a and 60 north lat
itude. Glasgow is some 800 miles north of
Portland and still its climate is very
much milder. Its winters are usually mild
but damp, dark and foggy. The summers
are pleasant, sometimes delightful. The long
twilight, the cleaning" of midsummer is
charming The country is full of romance,
ana poetry: The greater portion is rugged
and beautiful in the extreme. 1t is divided
into two great sections, the L0wlands and
the Highlands, and in earlier years the peo-
pie were quite unlike but today they are be-
coming more as one nation, unless it be the
Grofters dwelling far away to the North
They have very few advantages, and man
age to live on very little, and are without any
OF our modern improvements. They are
kept down by the owners of the land.
Scotland is land of oatmeal cakes, Cow
ems and heather. Its "bonnie purple heath
er," as growing upon the hillsides and along
the banks. is beautiful beyond description.
The people are thrifty, enterprising,
philosophic and brave. Her heroes, philoso-
piers, poets and noted men were referred to.
The manners and customs of the people
were described. A Scotch home with the
peculiarities of a Scotch kitchen were OUT
lined, and special reference was made to
Robert Burns and his poetry, because of the
fact that the lecture happened to come on
the 12Sth anniversary of the poets birth. A
high tribute of praise was given to the plow-
boy poet. In the estimation of the speaker
he ranked among the first of the English po-
cts. He was made out to be not only poet
proved to be a theological reformer.
Portions of Holy Willie's Prayer" and
"A Mans Man for a. That" were quoted
as proof Of his advanced ideas on the sub
lect of common brotherhood. and of relig
ion in general.

ST. LuKE'S CATHEDRAL.
Celebration of the goth Anniversary
of Bishop NeeIy's Conservation.

The anniversary service held in the Cathe
dral yesterday was in many respects the most
impressive ever held in that edifce. At the
conservation Of the building some eight or

gether with the congregation of the Cathe-
dral, took part in service of Thanksgiving
for blessings bestowed upon the church in
this diocese, and especially upon him who
had just completed twenty years of faithful
service as its chief pastor. Hearts were full
OF affection and sympathy responding gen.
erously to the love and kindness of a bishop
who Is beloved by all those to whom he min
listers and whose name throughout the Epis-
copal church is a synonym for largehearted-
ness and strength Of zeal In the furtherance
OF the church's great missionary work.
At II o'clock the service was begun by the
singing of the well known professional hymn
Coward Christian Soldiers" The choir on
this occasion being preceded by choirister
bearing beautiful professional cross, gift
of one of the gentlemen of the parish and
used for the first time at this service.
After the usual morning prayer said by
this diocese, Rev. Messrs. Ketchum and Pyne
reading the lessons, an anthem was sung
from the words "Sing we merrily unto God
our strength"
;, At the conclusion of the anthem, Rev.

THELoss OF THE ALTON.
Good Work of the Cranberry Isle
Life Saving Station.
fst. John Globe.1

The crew of the schooner Alton, before
reported wrecked, arrived home Saturday.
In an interview with Globe reporter the
men gave the following account of the dis
aster:
The Alton sailed from st. John at 2
o'clock p. m, on Thursday, January 18th,
for Portland, Me-, with the wind north,
moderate. AT o'clock on Friday morning
she was off Moospeckie An hour after
wards heavy ENE. snow storm set in, with
thick vapor About 7.30 o'clock Petit Manan
was made The storm increased IN violence
and the sea ran tremendously high. Seeing
there was no chance of the storm aDatlng,
the captain decided to run for Bakers ISL
and. The weather was so thick that It was
impossible to see two lengths ahead.
The vessel fetched a little to the north OF
the island, and at $50 o'clock she struck on
commenced to thump heavily, while the
heavy seas rolled completely over her. The
crew were drenched with the waves, and in
this condition they were forced to take to
the rigging for fear of being washed over
board While in the rigging the schooner
every time she shifted the men were forced
to change their positions in the rigging.
Their clothes were frozen. and the men suf-
fered fearfully from the intense cold. For
SIX HOuIS, WlllCH W lHC Al1u octIllcu as
long as so many days, the men held
on, In the face of the binding
snow, and the sea running mountains
high. The craft shivered and shook, and ey-
cry moment the men thought she would 90
to pieces When their hopes were well nigh
gone the men espied the Cranberry Island
life-saving station men coming to their res
cue. The high sea prevented them from
boarding the vessel, but with promptness the
life-saying men set about to effect their res
cue. The rocket apparatus was quickly put
in use, and line thrown towards the schoon-
er. The men on board the schooner failed
to catch the line. Again line: after line was
thrown, and as the men failed to catch them.
they became disheartened. The eighth line
thrown, however, was caught and secured,
and the exhausted man. effected landing
one by one. AS quick as possible they were
taken to the life-saying station and supplied
with dry clothes, and everything possible
was done for their comfort An examina-
ton showed that Capt. Odell and the stew
ard, VIM. Whelpley, were badly frost-bitten
about the face. The men speak in the high
est terms of the kindness shown them by the
people at the station, and of the heroic and
energetic efforts in rescuing them from the
wreck. 1t is impossible, the men say, to de-
scribe the humane actions Of these men. The
Alton" became total wreck. Her keel
and bottom were knocked out, and She was
broken in two. The cargo was also lost.

Fire on Commercial street.

The alarm of fire from box 90 yesterday
morning at 1918 O'Clock, was caused by the
bursting of water pipe and the wetting
down of several casks of lime at the store of
L. G. Cummings & Co., No. 2O6 Commercial
street. A large quantity of lime was stored
on the first floor The department worked
hard and all the casks which had been wet
were rolled into the street. Several casks
were scorched on the outside and several
more were entirely destroyed. If the fire
had got good start heavy loss would have
resulted, as 1t would have been almost i'm
possible to control it. AS it was, the damage
was slight
